SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that enciphers the information that users submit on a website. If they type in a username and a password on a login page or they acquire services and goods online and they enter their credit card information, the data shall be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, which means that an unauthorized third-party won't be able to see it. An SSL certificate will increase the security of your website and shall make it more appealing to customers, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you have to spend more money for a dedicated IP address, that's normally required for the SSL installation. In case you manage a modest e-commerce portal and your budget is tight or you are a part of a non-profit organization and you can find far better use for the funds, you can avoid the additional expense by taking advantage of our services due to the fact that our cloud web hosting platform supports SSL certificates not just on a dedicated IP address, but also on a shared one.

Shared SSL IP in Shared Web Hosting

A shared IP could be employed for any SSL certificate, irrespective if you get it from us or from another seller and regardless of the shared web hosting service which you have on our end. If you get the SSL from us, you shall come across this option on the certificate order page within your hosting CP where you can also take full advantage of the 1-click automatic configuration option that we offer you. If the latter is chosen in the SSL order wizard, our system shall install and set up everything for you through the specifically configured server shared IP, thus once you order and approve the SSL, there shall not be anything else to do on your end. You'll be able to save the cash you'll otherwise have to pay for a dedicated IP address and the SSL shall do the job in the same exact way, so any data that the visitors submit shall be encrypted. The sole difference is that if you enter the shared IP address instead of your domain in an Internet browser, the site won't show up.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use a shared IP for an SSL purchased through us or through any other retailer with any one of our semi-dedicated hosting. The setup is extremely basic and if you get the certificate from our company, you can also benefit from our SSL wizard where with just a few clicks you can choose the SSL to be installed automatically for the particular domain or subdomain on the shared IP that is configured to be employed for this specific purpose. This option shall save you time and work given that you will not need to do anything after you approve the SSL through e mail, not mentioning the funds you shall save for the IP address on a monthly basis. Your Internet site shall be protected and any client will feel assured that their data shall be protected as using a shared IP address doesn't affect the adequate performance of the certificate and the sole difference from using a dedicated one is that the IP cannot be used as a URL to access your Internet site.
